In accordance with the provisions of Law no. 202/2016 regarding the integration of the Romanian railway system into the single European railway area and of Government Decision no. 361/2018 regarding the approval of procedures for granting licenses in the field of railway transport, to carry out urban passenger transport activities by subway, economic operators in Romania, whether state-owned or private, must apply to the Romanian Railway Licensing Authority – OLFR for the issuance of a license for urban subway transport.

In order to obtain a license for urban subway transport, the economic operator must prove that the main activity stated in its articles of incorporation is urban, suburban and metropolitan passenger transport, according to CAEN rev. 2 - code 4931.

The license for urban subway transport can be obtained by economic operators who prove, before starting operations, that they cumulatively meet the requirements regarding:
  • honorability;
  • financial capacity;
  • professional competence;
  • coverage of civil liability risks.


The economic operator requesting the issuance of a license for urban subway transport must comply with the requirements set out in practice 3 of Government Decision no. 361/2018 and provide OLFR with the information and documents proving compliance with the requirements of honorability, financial capacity, professional competence, and coverage of civil liability risks.


The minimum level of financial coverage regarding civil liability towards scriptured passengers, combined with financial coverage for civil liability towards third parties, is 250,000 euro/period and event, with a sublimit of 50,000 euro/passenger.


To obtain the license for urban subway transport, it is necessary to submit an application to OLFR, accompanied by documents proving compliance with the mandatory requirements.


All documents comprising [the] license application file must be presented in Romanian. If some documents are issued in a foreign language, they must be submitted as a copy accompanied by a translation performed by an authorized translator.


Documents included in the license application file can be sent electronically, in “*.pdf” format. In this case, the application for obtaining the license, as well as all documents prepared by the applicant, must be sent with a qualified electronic signature.


Within 15 working days from the receipt of all documents from the license applicant, OLFR will carry out an assessment visit at the applicant’s headquarters.


If the applicant does not submit the complete documentation within 45 working days from the date of submitting the license application, OLFR shall notify it of the motivated decision to deny the license.
